You and Juraspring each agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or court and the right to participate in a class action.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We agree to pay for the applicable fees We are responsible for, and will not seek to recover, the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to receive or seek reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and all other expenses) incurred in connection therewith. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the Terms or the Sites, and shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to you and us alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. You and we agree that this Arbitration Agreement extends to any other parties involved in any Claims, including but not limited to affiliated companies and vendors.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each party may seek to resolve Disputes in small claims court if it qualifies; and each party shall retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, if you are a user who resides in a jurisdiction where you have a legal right to opt out of arbitration in accordance with laws applicable to you – you may exercise your legal right to opt out, but you must notify us of your election to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement in writing, and send your opt out request to Point Wild - Legal Notices, 250 Northern Ave, Floor 3, Boston, MA 02210, within thirty (30) calendar days of becoming subject to the Terms (I.e. within thirty (30) days of first access or using the Sites).

If you exercise your right to reject arbitration, the other terms of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect as if you had not rejected the Arbitration Agreement.
